Today was a beach day. Mind you, I wasn't going in past my knees because the beach we go to is actually a river so the water is quite a bit cooler then a lake would be, but the kids don't seem to mind. And the best part? It's almost always deserted when we go there! No fighting to keep my eyes on both kids, no other kids to worry that my children are splashing or throwing sand at. (Not that I permit that, but it still happens.) It's just peaceful.

Oh, and my dirt eater has branched out apparently.

I don't even want to know how much she may have actually ingested, yuck! (Yes, her eye is still slightly swollen but as you can see it is much better.)
